Is there a link to xmenu (cpxmenu) anywhere? Can't find it in the downloads section.

What should I be looking for in the newsgroups or irc?

Thanks

has anyone tried putting more than 4 games using this program? is it possible?

This menu is so unpredictable.

Up until yesterday I had Hugo, Dgen and XSNES running perfectly with screenshots and everything. When XSNES Beta 3 came out I upgraded and burned the disc again. Whichever emu is 2nd in the menu does not work now. It just freezes on the menu screen. Menu items 1 and 3 always work. It doesn't matter what order I put the emus in the config.txt, the 2nd one always fails whereas 1 and 3 will work. Weird!!

And all this since upgrading to XSNES Beta 3. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers.

Yeh i use this menu and i put 9 emulators 3 games and 2 divx films all on 1 dvd and ALL runs ok.

I just followed the instructions and made sure the config was ok and it all works great.

BUT i have noticed that some brands of DVDR have problems over 2.5 gig. Like BULKPAQ for 1 if i put more than 2.5gig on then everything loads upto that but if i have a game after that it won't load that game. Even though it looks ok on the PC.

Here's my Emu Config that works fine. Make sure there is only 1 blank line inbetween each new title

hmmm i've tried recreating the complex folder from scratch but never extracted all the games again i guess i can give it a try , i wish this complex was 100% all the time , madden is my middle game and it leaves a space before the default.xbe so i delete that so theres no space , but still didnt work i'll recreate everything i guess and see how it goes

hey i stuffed 11 games on 1 DVD-R all worked 100%.........

but now....i have some games with 3-6 games on 1 DVD-R and the loading times r brutal.....like it takes burnout like 3 min. to load when on 1 disk by itself it takes 5-10 seconds.......outlaw golf is even worse.......i am using princo dvd-rw for testing purposes i do a quick erase then use it again, been used about 30 times....u think its the media or just to many games crammed on 1 disk? how u think i can fix this? everything works i just cant stand loading it takes to fucking long...... =\

Ice, thats what will happen when you do a QUICK ERASE. Try doing a FULL erase, that way you start from 0.

Quick erase just erases the TOC, full erase erases everything on the DVDRW (duh..)

I think that should fix your loading problem.

ok, easy question.

where do i find these menu editors and stuff?

[oMega] · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2002, 09:55:00 PM »

ICE: I think that my be a cause for your problem. Just test it to see if it works!

Jedipimp: you could look on IRC, efnet servers, channel #xbins

Ok I made the menu perfectly but in your directions you say "Put each games files into thier folder" Now that has me confused. Do you mean the ISO image of each game or all the winrar files for example px-ct3.r01 .....I dont understand that....all my files are rar files thats how all the games come when you download them isnt it? Do I need to use something other then winrar or? It also says ** NO need to change the default.xbe in any game!** and none of my games have a default.xbe..... are my games supposed to have a default.xbe??? Please help guys!! Thanks

The reason Im asking is I followed all the instructions using each games ISO file (each game has one big ISO image) ....the menu comes up fine with music and the proper picture for each game but it wont play any of the games so I have a feeling I wasnt supposed to make ISO images from the games.
